'Y Eo a RE i Ll a ne! 1 A CASE OF PATENT MEDICINES i». Talks on Health and Hygiene by Samuel G. Dixon, M. D. . As a further warning against the incalculable amount of harm people do themselves by resorting to various drugs and patent medicines, which W mentioned last week, I would like to add from my personal ex- perience a story typical of this prac- tice. There are any number of simi- lar ones I have come into contact with, and any physician could tell cores from his own experience. This is the story of Henry, a col- ored waiter years ago in a well known restaurant at the corner of Ninth and Chestnut Streets in Phila- delphia. T stopped in there one day to get lunch and as soon as I sat down Henry approached me and in- formed me he was especially glad to see me that day. I asked him why. “Well doctor,” he said, ‘“Ah’se done got de consumption.” I asked him why he thought so. “Got a powerful bad cough; can’t eat; can’t sleep; can’t keep no flesh on me nohow.” “Is that so, Henry? get this cold? “Bout two or three weeks ago.” “What are you doing for it?” “A friend done tol’ me to buy a bottle of Dr. Blank’s Expectorant. Jeen takin’ it steady ever since. Reckon Ah’d been cured by this time ef 1 hadn’t been powerful sick.” Well, Henry didn’t need to go any further after he had told me that. He admitted in answer to my ques- tions that the more he had taken of the medicine the less he wanted to eat and the more “miserable” he felt. He said he thought that was on account of his “consumption.” I explained that it, was the medi- cine and not the cold that was pro- ducing this effect. I told him the medicine had robbed him of appetite and the cold was taking advantage of the consequent lack of nourish- ment and run-down condition and nded by the prediction that if he didn’t stop taking that Expectorant and let his stomach recover, so that he could enjoy again a good cup of ffee, a nice lean piece of beef or mutton, and perhaps some toast, he would actually get the disease he thought he had. “Now, Henry,” I said, “I’m sorry that I have to leave for Europe in the morning. But I want you to top taking that medicine at once and go and get a good doctor and do exactly what he tells you. You'll soon be the same old Henry again. I don’t believe you have consumption vet. Give Nature half a chance and she’ll throw that cold off. The Ex- pectorant has destroyed your di- gestion but as soon as that recovers vou will be all right again.” About six months later I returned to Philadelphia and stopped into the restaurant to inquire after Henry. [ found him fat, healthy, and his customary good-natured self. He greeted me smilingly. “You was right, doctor,” he said. “That medicine surely was Killing me. Soon’s Ah stopped it Ah done cot hungry, Then Ah ate good ictuals and got cured. “Who was your doctor?” “Well, Ah’ll tell you how dat was. Ah jus’ began to git well so fas’ Ah didn’t feel like Ah needed no doctor.” When did you Perhaps that accidental meeting vith Henry saved his life. Quack medicines kill a great many people. I don’t think Henry ever took any more. I urged him to make good use of his lesson and impress it upon anyone else he might hear of who about to make his mistake. Medicine is a great power. In the proper hands it is a power for great good. In the wrong hands it is a power for great evil. Medicine isin the wrong hands when some un- recoonized disease is treated on the ha of the sick person trying some- thine he has seen advertised, or what friend recommends, or what some druggist thinks he ought te have. When you are taken ill, you can- not tell how ill you are or what is the matter with you. Therefore it is foolish to think you can know how to cure yourself for the illness may be of a serious nature. Don’t take drugs that are recommended by any- one but a doctor and don’t take patent medicines. Go to a physician. He is the man best qualified to ad- minister medicine.

HOME HEALTH CLUB Edited by Dr. David H. Reeder, Chi- cago, Illinois. Killing the business:—The medical profession has for centuries made its living out of the mistakes, accidents and wilful misdeeds of the people that it serves. Knowing that the pay for his services can only be secured on account of the sickness or suffering of his patrons the pro- fession as a whole and in many no- table individual cases, has worked steadily to overcome sickness and diseases. Some have spent the major portion of their lives seeking to edu- cate the people up to the fact that they themselves are largely responsi- ble for their own suffering. For a quarter of a century the Home Health Club has been telling people to stop over-eating and un- der exercising. The latter part of this advice does not apply to the laboring people but to the profess- ional and idle class. The time is now drawing near when these instructions are to be followed whether you want to or not and happy will be that family that has profited by the prac- tical directions that I have given a- bout diet, food values and the ad- vantage of knowing how to prepare the right combination with the least labor. In the Home Health Club book, Vol. 1, you will find complete infor- mation about the food values and in the Home Health Club edition of the Nature Cure Cook Book, you will find complete directions for the preparation and combination of all kinds of wholesome and nutritious foods for securing and maintaining perfect *health through a simple and natural diet. Drying Vegetables: —Twice lately I have called your attention to the fact that the reason why fresh vege- tables do not keep fresh is because they contain so much water, When the water is removed they will not rot nor freeze, I have been so swamped with inquiries for more details that 1 must to a certain extent “side step’ and throw the responsi- bility on the Department of Agricul- ture at Washington. The matter has already been taken up and an experi- mental plant is now being operated to determine the best and simplest way. The secret of retaining the deli- cate volatile oil that gives odor and flavor to fruit and vegetables is the all important part of the information and I am informed on very good authority that the Agricultural De- partment will soon give this informa- tion to about 1500 lecturers, who will rapidly cover the south first and then follow north with the growing season. Those of you that have a steam cooker can experiment a little for yourselves with a small slow kitchen plant. Try this and report results. Prepare vegetables just as you would for the table by peeling, wash- ing and slicing, then subject them to very hot steam, time to depend upon the kind of vegetable; potatoes, carrots, parsnips and beets from 2% to 10 minutes according to the in- tensity of the heat. Secalding, live steam over the raw surface of these vegetables for 215 minutes will not injure the starch cells but will pre- vent the escape of the volatile oil during the drying process, There should be a free eirculation of moist air through the drying oven if an oven is used, but the vegetables may be spread thinly over screen trays or shelves and dried with the heat of the cook stove by arranging the trays in tiers like you fix an oat sprouting device for growing green chick feed. Several trays can thus be arranged over the stove, as the process progresses to the dry state the trays should be changed, placing the bottom tray on top and proceed- ing in rotation with each tray until the entire product is bone dry and hard as dry wood. This will take from 2 to 4 hours according to the kind of vegetables and degree of heat. When the process is finished one bushel of dried potatoes will equal 5 bushels of fresh and one hundred pounds of dried cabbage will equal 800 pounds of the fresh and this product will keep for years. Keep trying, you may spoil a few pounds, but the results will justify the ef- fort. Those that have small steam canning outfits can easily adopt them to this service. etl MEETING OF AUTO CLUB Forty-five New Members Were Elect- ed at Maytown Friday Night Forty-five new members were elected at the regular monthly meet- ing of the Lancaster Automobile Club held on Friday evening in the band hall at Maytown. Each month sees a big addition to the member- ship roll which now comprises about fourteen hundred names. Reports were received of speed traps on the Columbia turnpike on the outskirts of Lancaster and at Marietta. It was decided to erect warning signs at the former place for the protection of tourists and to advertise the conditions existing at Marietta where on one day sixty-one arrests were made for alleged viola- tions of the automobile laws. Regret over the resignation of State Highway Commissioner Black whose aid had been enlisted in the toll abolition campaign in Lancaster county was expressed in the adoption of the following resolution presented by George D. Brientnall: " Where Frank B. Black, the late State Highway Commissioner, having been injustly forced to resign, for reasons well-known to the general public; therefore, be it. Resolved, that we, the members of the Lancaster Automobile hereby deprecate such action as being against the interest of good and free roads, and that a copy of this resolu- tion be sent to Mr. Black. The club decided to appoint a com- mittee to call on the street officials of Lancaster in the interest of securing street improvements, the committee to report at the next meeting, and elected the following: W. Frank wu Gorrecht, M. T. Garvin and R. V. Alexander. Why Lancaster county’s repre- sentatives in the Legislature voted against the bill providing for lights on all vehicles was asked by C. A. B. Zook, and at his suggestion the secretary was instructed to write to each representative and ascertain the reason. The following resolution by Mr. Brientnall was adopted: : Resolved, That a steering commit- tee of three or five be appointed to devise ways and means looking for- ward to the nomination and election of county commissioners who favor free and better roads. Complaints were received of a bad of the bad condition of Parkside Avenue in Lan- caster township, of the road from Herrville to Rawlinsville, of the ex- cessive application of oil on the Har- Fight alo “They are mustering in the Guard.” Four times within the memory of liv- ing men these tidings have sped from Bp to lip throughout Pennsylvania, Four times, while men's lips have gd this terse message, men’s hearts ve sensed a stronger tension and Rey's pulses have known a quickening For men know that the simple an- douncement of this shifting of Guard control from State to Federal hands ean have but one interpretation—the ncee—almost a lifetime ago—the tidings presaged the storm and fury of evil strife into which marched gaily ihe Jenthiiul chivalry of Pennsylvania's dlitia, to emerge, four years later, stern and masterful conquerors.

It is muscled with human flesh and guided by human intelligence om a career of surpassing deviltry. the safe spectator on America’s distant shore came first only a feeling of loathing for this unclean creature its masters. It seemed unbeliev- le that a monstrosity so foul and malevolent could spring to life in this enlightened day.

Al- ready it is resounding to the tread of armed men. The regular army is on the move and now the call has gone out for the country’s second line of defense—the National Guard. Pennsylvania once more is calling ber doyal sons. It is a time of stir bustle and furbishing of sword gun and bayonet from the banks of the Delaware to the shores of Lake Brie. Armories are ringing to the clang of weapons and stalwart young figures, there, are seen tugging at strap and Buckle in the bundling of accoutre- ments. More than usual, there is noted the prevalence of military uniforms in the #treet crowds. And the walls are Club, do! M8ling up gaps in the various arms of the service. The Guard is pulling {itself together for another sally to the “front.” There is every indication that its departure on this occasion will be more inspir- ing than ever as a display of a great State’s military power. Phe country is proud of its regular fighting men but, after all, the home sentiment clings more fondly to the ting men of the Guard. Pride in the regular army units is impersonal Deeause they are recruited from the oountry-at-large. But with the Guard it is different.

Guards Rank as Veterans, It is a veteran force wiiich will, om this occasion, represent Pennsylvania in the Federal service. - The Guard is but recently returneq from a stremu- ous period of duty on the Mexican border. Long hours of stiff practice in military maneuver under the blis- tering rays of a tropical sun have case-hardened the guardsmen. And their efficiency has become a matter of national record. They “did their bit” side by cide with the regular army on the border- land, acquiring, by emulation, many of the campaigning tricks of the experi- enced oldier, But efficient as Is this fine State soldiery, {ts numerical strength is much below the war standard fixed by the Federal government. Some regi- ments can muster, at present, only two-thirds of the number they should have in their ranks. Pennsylvania's young manhood which recently made such an inspiring response to the call for registration now has another patriotic duty con- fronting it. Those who hawve register ed are eligible for military serviee. Sooner or later they will be ordered to report for physical examination and if up to the physical requirements, will be ordered into the military service. on a registered man to await a formal call to arms. In fact, since it is more his own advantage to be the arbiter, himself, of where, when and how he £0. Enlistment Beats Draft. Isn't it better, by way of example, for an eligible man to enlist, now, ia a crack Guard regiment of his home section, where he will stand shoulder- to-shoulder with friends, than to hold back until ordered into the service, assigned, perhaps, to a newly-formed among strangers? There is the glory of regimental Jregtige--ite satisfaction that springs Tom association with an organization of old and honored traditions—and the confidence that is Degotien of comrade- ship to commend voluntary enlistment, All of these are assured to the man who picks a home regiment. On the other hand, none of these things is assured to the man who waits for a regiment to piek him. Voluntary enlistment gives a surething choice. But the only sure thing in store for the man who waits is the gure thing that he will have to go, if he is fit to go. The Guard offers the same induce- ment in variety of service that is of- fered by the regular army. Infantry, artillery, cavalry and engimeers are open to recruiting. This puts the Guard on the footing of the regular service, of which it is soon to be a part. From the recruit- ing end, Guard service is even more desirable with its Oppyianities afford. ed recruits to be placed in the ranks with the boys from home. Always maintaining the highest pay of any army in the world, the army service—both regulars and Guard— has taken a new lead far beyond even its old pay-roll standard. The rate of pay for enlisted men is now $30 per month and upwards. Even at $30 a month there is a big inducement to save. Since everything is “found” for men in the service, ex- penditures need only be for a few per- sonal luxuries. It {is figured that a man may easily save two-thirds of his pay. There is a system in vogue by which the money may be left on de- posit, and 4 per cent Interest is al- lowed. Army's Brighter Side. And these are details not to be over. looked even by men who are keen in hot-hearted desire to serve their State and Nation. That there are many such is the confident hope of the Pennsyl- vania Guard. It is men of that calibre who have made the Guard what it is today. And it is to men of that calibre whom they are appealing to make the Guard what it must be in the future if it is meet the high hopes of the State, the Na- tion and a stricken world. The sky is over-cast, and the war- clouds have gathered. There is sore need here, and elsewhere, of that pice tured uprising of patriot manhood to strike a blow for the Old Flag and the Old Land.
